trigsimp() will convert the sin to cos. To remove the negative and square, you'll have to use expand_log(force=True), which gives a complex constant (which can be ignored, since this is an integral).
It would definitely be better if integrate at least gave log(1 - sin(x)**2) so that the result is real.
